The very point of CDBS is to reuse common packaging patterńs across many 
packages.  Some people find CDBS helpful, som people hate CDBS.

licensecheck2dep5 specifically is a crude filter applied on top of 
licencecheck.  I am interested in something better - also something not 
tied to CDBS - but I have no interest in helping rip apart CDBS to reach 
_same_ functionality as CDBS brings already but stuffed into each 
indicidual package.
